Your choices cause things like leaky gut,, and then your body suffers and ends up with an autoimmune attack..The gut is the largest immune organ in the body, says co-author Bryan White, Ph.D., director of the University of Illinois Microbiome Program in the Division of Biomedical Sciences and a member of the Institute for Genomic Biology. Because its presented with multiple insults daily through the introduction of new bacteria, food sources and foreign antigens, the gut is continually teasing out whats good and bad. The gut has several ways to do this, including the mucosal barrier that prevents organisms — even commensal or good bacteria — from crossing the lumen of the gut into the human body. However, when commensal bacteria breach this barrier, they can trigger autoimmune responses. The body recognizes them as out of place, and in some way this triggers the body to attack itself, he says.
